Starting June 1, traffic heading in either direction on Highway 17 between Tanner Road and Island View will be reduced to a single lane, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., until the summer of 2024.
The southbound on-ramp from Keating Cross will close June 3. Drivers trying to head that way will be detoured down through Central Saanich Road to Tanner Road. Truck traffic will follow the same route and back onto the existing truck route.
The southbound on-ramp from Keating Cross Road to Highway 17 will be closed from June 3 through the construction period. Drivers will access the highway via a detour from Central Saanich Road to Tanner Road, and truck traffic will be detoured to Central Saanich Road along the existing truck route.
By June 8, drivers will no longer be able to access Martindale Road from the highway either, and will take the Gliddon Road offshoot to connect to it instead.
